The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA) today (February 23) pursued a claim in the Small Claims Tribunal for some $1,000 on behalf of two employees, who were owed MPF contributions by the employer.
At today's hearing, the defendant, Multi Profit International Limited trading as Goodluck Restaurant, did not appear. In its absence, the Adjudicator ordered it to pay the MPFA $1,546.14, being mandatory contributions in arrears and surcharges payable.
The amount awarded will be reimbursed to the employees' MPF accounts as soon as they are received by the MPFA. The court further awarded payment of $156 as the cost in respect of the claim.
